Help me! Having CPU Cooling problems!

Howdy
I'm having serious problems with my P.C. I have recently upgraded my PC's processor from a celeron 2 ghz to Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz 478Pin 1Mb Cache 800MHz FSB Processor Prescott, I Installed the processor with the standard Intel Heatsink and core centre was telling me that the CPU was running at around 59+ degrees celcius 138+ degrees farenheit at idle.
I thought that this was a little hot at my celaron didn't push past 45 degrees c. while idling
I thought nothing of it putting it down to faster cpu high temperature... I decided to run a game to see the difference my hard earned cash had made, the first thing that came to hand was "The Sims 2" which ran perfectly on my celaron if not a little boggy at times.
The game booted quicker and i got into a game to see how much smoother it was running and the game hung.
I thought that maybe it was a because it had a new processor and it needed a reboot, which i did and i checked out the game again and it did exactly the same thing.
I thought that maybe the cpu was getting a bit hot so i turned the machine off and went out the next day to purchase another couple of coolingfans to create more convection in the case.
I fitted the fans dragging air from the front and the side and blowing out of the back, this had an effect on the temperature of the cpu but not by much, It was now running at 52 to 55 degrees at ldle (at the Bios)
I decided that this temperature at idle was too high and the fact that fact that it was crashing games (That my girlfriend likes to play) I thought that I would take the leap to liquid cooling so I purchased the Coolermaster Aquagate liquid cooling system I installed the system and fired my system up it was still reading at 52 degrees at the bios.
When the machine got to windows the temperature slowly increased and when I tried to run the same game it crashed ( due to what i found later was the processor throttling to prevent damage)  
One thing that i found strange was the temperature on the gauge of the AQUAGATE which has a hardwire temperature sensor that sits on top of the di of the processor and that was reading around 27 degrees at the bios.
I thought that it may have been a faulty processor so i sent the processor back and recieved a replacement which had the same problem although alot worse ( 65-70 degrees at the bios)
I have sent that one back and I'm awaiting the replacement.
I would like to know if there is actually a problem with the motherboard itself or just a problem with the temperature sensor settings in the bios.
or if there is a bios update that can prevent my processor from throttling and crashing everything.
Please help as I really like this Motherboard and I can't afford to buy a new one.
Matt

Howdy all!
Got my chip back from novatech, I updated the Bios to V2.5, ditched Corecentre and replaced it with speed fan (pretty cool!).
Put the chip in and everything seems to be running okay...ish
The only thing that's bothering me a little is that its still posting temperatures of around 48 degrees C, at idle.
which is okay but I'm using a watercooling system so I thought that it would be a lot lower than that I am aware that Prescotts do run hot but i didn't think that it would be this hot.
Maybe I'm being dumb and this is a good temperarture but I was hoping that It may be a bit lower so I could maybe overclock it.
Could anyone suggest anything I could do to bring the temperature down a tad?
Many Thanks to Danny and Dcasole that pointed me in the right direction with the BIOS, my girlfriend can now play The Sims 2 and will stop nagging me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • Help me find a cpu cooler please.

    Hi everyone,
    Im having some difficulty finding a decent cpu cooler for my box,
    atm im using the boxed cooler from AMD modded with a 80mm papst fan,
    it runs pretty quite, but the temps aren't that good.
    Ive tried adding some more fans in the kabinnet, but then it makes more noise, which is unpractical.
    There are so many brands and types of cpu coolers, and since im really not following with the hardware developent anymore
    im really at lost with this, so i hope some of you gurus can help me out.
    It should be pretty simple
    sys specs:
    Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinium
    cpu: A64 3500+

    I need advise and help with this problem .
    First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
    At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
    In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
    Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
    trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
    Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
    ''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
    With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
    I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
    Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

    Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
    To remove it, see:

    Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

    What program did you use to fix the internal hard drive? What repairs did it report making? More crucially, if repairs were reported, did you re-run the utility until it reported no problems found? It's possible for one set of problems with a drive to mask others.
    If you have about 5GB or so free space on the internal hard drive, you can use your OS X Install disc to perform an Archive and Install to recover from the failed Software Update. When the computer restarts, download and run the OS X Update Combo 10.4.11 (Universal). When the Mac restarts after that, run Software Update. During all this, make sure nothing interrupts or shuts down the Mac! Note that the first start after each of these updates will take significantly longer than subsequent starts, so be very patient.
    How did you back up your internal drive to the external one? Did you just drag things over in the Finder, or did you use a utility such as SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner? Does the external HD show up as a bootable volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk, or using Startup Manager?

    Hi melbernai - not sure if you've solved this problem yet. I had the exact same problem recently with my 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I solved it yesterday by simply updating iTunes to the most recent version, after which I could get rid of the register screen. The only other thing I needed to do to add my custom playlists was select "Manually manage music" on the screen for my iPod, since it had been in an automatic synching mode since the problem occurred.

  • Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please.

    Frustratingly, since I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10, I too am having the worst problems with WiFi dropping out. I've never had this problem before on my iMac 27-inch mid 2011 model. Turning WiFi off and then back on again sometimes works. Help please. I've already tried a lot of your suggested fixes, but without success. Why hasn't Apple Fixed this?

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
    Step 2
    Disconnect all USB 3 devices. If you don't know which are USB 3, disconnect all USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Step 3
    If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. If you find that Wi-Fi works better with Bluetooth disabled, you should use the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. Your router may not support it; in that case, you need a new router.
    Step 4
    Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter  tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
              Wake for Wi-Fi network access
    if it's checked.
    Step 5
    Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
    Step 6
    In the Wi-Fi settings, select
              Advanced... ▹ TCP/IP ▹ Configure IPv6: Link-local
    Click OK and then Apply.
    Step 7
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    Step 8
    Reset the PRAM.
    Step 9
    Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    Step 10
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

    HAVING A PROBLEM WHEN I PRINT A WEB PAGE WHICH IS MORE THAT ONE PAGE LONG. ONLY THE FIRST PAGE PRINTS TO SCALE...THE REMAINING PAGES PRINT OFF THE PAGE????HELP-IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM WITH FIREFOX BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WITH SAFARI??

    Thank you for the response. I tried to fix the problem with some of the suggestions on that page, but none seem to work. I believe that is the only website that I'm having that problem on. I got to fooling with it a bit more and when I highlight the whole page and select to print the selected area, it actually prints the whole page then, but it won't do it as a default. I guess I can just do it like that from now on, but I thought there would be something in the settings that I could have changed. Thanks again for the help.

  • Toshiba HDD/SDD ALERT! - anyone having the same problem? I need help =/

    Okay, so I barely got this new laptop on Christmas and for several weeks now I've been having problems. My internet browser keeps saying (Not Responding) everytime I use it, which I think is due to this problem.
    I keep getting a pop up that says this :
    Disk0
    Your HDD has the SMART Predict Failure function which monitors the HDD operating status. Your HDD is experiencing a problem and SMART monitoring software predicts that the HDD will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends you create a back-up for your HDD data. Then contact an authorized service provider in order to check your drive and purchase a new replacement drive if necessary.
    I've backed-up my stuff already, but it still continues to say that. Anyone have any idea what why? and what I can do to fix it myself? it has been bothering me because it is the first thing that pops-up when I turn on my laptop. Thanks for reading and thanks for any help that I can get! Hope others that are having the same problem can get some help from my post as well!
